the 1200.1 at full output draws ~114A
your head unit may dray about 5-10A at most

no idea what your particular car uses stock.

the latter was a better question indeed.
call up your local AutoZone.
ask them the stock alternator size for your make, model, and year of car.
then take the stock HOT rating, and add about 100-120A to that.
Bingo.
you have the ideal rating for a new alternator.

chances are you could get by with a 150-200A alternator.. depending on the car.
